Transmission G-56 woes

I brought in my truck for a screeching noise coming from outside of the truck when I would engage/disengage the clutch. The techs couldnt find the problem or the noise so I came back in to show them what it was.
After I taught the techs how to push down on a clutch pedal they immediately dropped the transmission and replaced my throwout bearing.
I recieved the truck yesterday and now there is a loud obnoxious noise coming from the transmission. It is a very violent high pitched "WHIRR" that increases with engine speed. Sounds and smells like the tranny is sitting in my passengfer seat next to me.
oh, and the "throwout bearing" screech came back this morning.
time to take my truck back into the dealership this week. this is really starting to get on my nerves

bring the truck in for one noise and they send it back with the same noise plus a worse one.

Five star.....I have a "five star" right by me, brought my truck in Friday for excessive a/c engagement/disengagement. Later that day discovered that now my ac is cool not cold. Now they can't look at it again for a week, and I am heading down by New Orleans tomorrow. I even got the owner on the phone and got no where. So BEWARE OF CHUCK DZAK MOTORS in Braidwood, IL if you are ever on the road and need a fix!

5 star does not mean nothing....my five star service dealer is really getting bad..I keep giving them bad reviews but it does not help.
I wish they would just give me the warrantied part and let me install it my self

Sometimes that would be the easiest.

I'll replace it and bring the old part back for them to send back. At least I know the work would be done right.

If it's smelling like the tranny is sitting beside you, there's good chance that they tore the orange boot at the base of the shifter where it seals against the top of the transmission. This allows ATF to slosh out, and gets real stinky in the cab. --Eric

yes, can you verify trans fluid running down the sides of the G56?

That really is stupid for the dealer to have ruined that part.
